Reprint of September 1956 article by Robert Welch, "A Letter to the South on Segregation" which was originally published in Mr. Welch's magazine entitled "One Man's Opinion".
Welch argues that the May 17, 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision on de-segregation was not Constitutional because it revised the 10th and 14th Amendments by fiat and made educational policies subject to federal control rather than the intended state control. Furthermore, Welch maintained that the Plessy v Ferguson Supreme Court decision validating "separate but equal schools or any other public facilities for colored people and white people fulfilled the requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment. This was in accordance with legal precedent which had already prevailed since the Amendment had been adopted in 1868."
Then Welch discusses the "Communist sympathies and connections of the 'authorities' on modern psychology to which the Court referred in its decision, and on which its action was theoretically based."
